Finally with numbers.
P!nk will have the highest selling album this week (her first number one – 280K). Psy will likely be the top digital download (he better enjoy it, because Taylor Swift is demolishing the competition this week. He sold 301K). Meanwhile, HDD is already predicting that Mumford and Sons may clear as much as 525K this week with their new album. That would be the highest debut week of the year.
